Laundry

Wee Meg and Little Peggotty had fun in the laundry today…

Idea

Peg wanted to climb higher…

ladder

Buttons and buttonholes make great climbing aids to a very small doll…

relatives

Peggotty said hi to her cousins…but they are too busy to play

Hammock

Wee Meg had a little swing in a bodice hammock…

Peeking

Isn’t laundry fun?!

Wee Meg and Peggotty were made by doll artist TC Vollum – check the adventures of her dolls Ellen and Pink by clicking here.

The linens were wafted here by a zephyr in January, it has taken me this long to get them washed…they are in various states of repair and age-related decrepitation…but are soft and pretty and a very nice weight for doll clothes…so their destiny might include transformation into smalls for small dolls.

Peggotty’s dress is very attractive. It suits her well!

  Peggotty may need a new dress soon, as the original elastic is getting to that stiff and crunchy stage…I wonder if she would like something white?

    I was surprised to see that Peggotty still had her elastic. The one that stayed here lost her belt long ago. I’m sorry to say that I replaced it with a bit of thread, so she won’t be changing clothes without scissors.

  If they weren’t already so worn and scrappish, I would have a hard time cutting the linens up!

A refreshing as the breeze narrative. It seems like every opportunity at the QH household is taken advantage of to the fullest by the dolls….always so fun.
